band on tbe caput is of a rather elongated diamond shape, and is produced behind to the 
thoracic junction. 
The eyes are in the usual four pairs, occupying the whole width of the fore part of the 
caput ; the four central ones are as nearly as possible of equal size, and form a square whose 
posterior side is shorter than the rest ; those of the hind-central pair are on largish, dai k, 
reddish-brown spots, and are separated from each other by an eye’s diameter ; those of The 
fore-central pair are seated on a slight prominence, and are directed away from each othei , 
the interval between them being nearly two diameters. Those of each lateral pair are seat 
obliquely and contiguously on a dark tubercle. 
The legs of the third and fourth pairs (one only of each being all that remained in the 
example examined) are short, strong, of a pale-yellow colour, annulated with dark yellov - 
brown, and furnished with hairs, bristles, and a few spines. 
The palpi are short, and similar to the legs in colour and armature. 
Th e falces are moderate in length and strength, roundly prominent at their base 
front, perpendicular, and of a pale-yellow colour. 
The maxilla} are of normal form; their colour is brown, with a pale-yellowish border a 
round their extremity. 
The labium is of a darker brown than the maxillae, with a pale-yellowish apex. 
The sternum is yellowish, suffused with dark brown ; its form is heart-shaped, with t ie 
fore extremity broadly truncated and hollow. 
The abdomen is large, oval, broadest in fi’ont, the middle of the fore margin of which lS 
a little sub-angularly prominent ; it projects considerably over the base of the cephaloth ora x > 
and is of a yellowish-brown colour mottled obscurely with whitish ; the fore extremity o 
the upper side has a sub-angular, marginal, white stripe. Beginning at some little distance 
behind this is a large deep brown patch-like area, broad in front, and narrowing gradually) to 
about half its front width, near the spinners. This patch is bordered by a fine, deeper-brown 
sinuous line, outside of which is a distinct white border. On the sides, the white mottlmg s 
are gathered into broadish, though rather indistinct, oblique stripes ; the under side is deep 
brown, bordered on each side with three large white spots, the middle one of which is 1 
largest. The epigyne is rather short, of a pale-yellowish hue, tapering, blunt-pointed, anC 
directed backwards.

The cephalotliorax is tolerably strongly constricted on the lateral margins at the ca l nl ’ 
which is also rather produced forwards ; its colour is dull yellow, rather thickly clothed vvi 
a coarse greyish pubescence ; and the whole of the upper side of the caput is of a deep 
the same colour being prolonged backwards to the thoracic junction. The height of 
clypeus is rather less than the diameter of one of the fore-central eyes. 
The eyes are in the usual four pairs, occupying the whole width of the fore-part o 
caput; the four central eyes form apparently, as nearly as can be, a square ; the hind-cen 
pair are seated on strong black spots, on a small tubercular prominence, and they are 
largest of the eight, considerably larger than those of the fore-central pair, and sepaia 
by rather more than a diameter’s interval.
